ChatGPT introduces meeting recording and other features for business users

OpenAI is adding new features for business users of ChatGPT, including integration with different cloud services, meeting recording and transcription, and support for deep research tools through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

ChatGPT can now connect with Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, and SharePoint, enabling users to search and retrieve information from their own documents and files. This enhancement allows, for example, analysts to synthesize reports using internal slide decks and documents. OpenAI emphasized that these integrations respect existing organizational access controls.

Another significant addition is the meeting recording and transcription feature, now available within ChatGPT. This functionality generates timestamped notes, suggests action items, and allows users to query meeting content just as they would with other documents. Action items identified during meetings can be seamlessly converted into Canvas documents—OpenAI’s collaborative tool for writing and coding.

These new features place ChatGPT in direct competition with existing productivity tools such as ClickUp, Zoom, and Notion, which already offer transcription and summarization capabilities.

OpenAI is also introducing deep research connectors, currently in beta, for platforms such as HubSpot, Linear, and selected Microsoft and Google tools. Users can compile in-depth reports by combining internal data with web-based information. These connectors are now accessible to all paid users.

Additionally, support for MCP—OpenAI’s protocol for linking external tools to its models—will be available for Pro, Team, and Enterprise users, further expanding the platform’s capacity for data-driven research and analysis.
